Liverpool go to Bournemouth in the Premier League’s early Saturday kickoff, looking to build on last weekend’s 7-0 thrashing of rivals Manchester United
On Sunday at Anfield, the Merseyside club put Erik ten Hag’s side to the sword as Jurgen Klopp’s men raced through the Red Devils in the second half. The setback was the biggest between the two Premier League giants, and it should give the Merseyside club confidence for the remainder of the season as they fight to finish in the top four.

Despite this great outcome, Liverpool has struggled away from home this season, picking up only 12 points in 12 games, and Klopp will be aware of that going into today’s match. Stefan Bajcetic replaced captain Jordan Henderson in the German coach’s only alteration from the Manchester United game.
Bournemouth’s last outing was similarly noteworthy for Gary O’Neil’s team, as they blew a 2-0 lead against Arsenal at the Emirates, with the Gunners’ winner coming in the dying seconds of the game, ending in a 3-2 win for Mikel Arteta’s side.

This was a major setback for the Cherries, who need every point in their relegation battle and will now attempt to bounce back in front of their home fans today. O’Neil has made three changes from the defeat in North London, bringing in Kelly, Lerma, and Anthony.
